The present invention relates to a combination storm and sash window forinstallation and use in a wooden frame building which has been newlyconstructed, or for insertion and installation as a new combinationstorm and sash window for installation in existing buildings.

The above and other objects and advantages of the invention will becomeapparent upon full consideration of the following detailed descriptionand accompanying drawings which:

FIGURE 1 is a broken away front elevation view of exterior ofcombination window and screen of a preferred embodiment of theinvention.

FIGURE 2 is an enlarged and cross-sectional vie'w of the combinationtaken along lines 2 2 of FIGURE 1.

FIGURE 3 is a further enlarged cross-sectional View taken along lines3-3 of FIGURE 2.

FIGURE 4 is a view corresponding in part to FIG URE 3, but in which thedetails of a holding means are shown.

Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a wooden window frame ofrectangular proportions, the size of the wooden frame adapted to fitwithin a window opening in a new or renovated house, and in which thereis installed along the periphery of the rectangular frame and adjacentto the window opening a series of weather strips 12, 12, as seen inFIGURES 2, 3 and 4.
